van ostern. [applause] and, of course, thanks to all of you for taking the time to be here today. >> we love you. [cheering] [applause] mrs. obama: thanks so much. that's very sweet of you. i love you guys, too. i can't believe it's just a few weeks before election day, as we come together to support the next president and vice president of the united states, hillary clinton and tim kaine. [cheering] [applause] and new hampshire is going to be important, as always. so i'm going to get a little serious here, because i think we can all agree that this has been a rough week in an already rough election. this week has been particularly interesting for me, personally, because it has been a week of profound contrast. see, on tuesday, at the white house, we celebrated the international day of the girl and let girls learn. [cheering] [applause] and it was a wonderful celebration. it was the last event that i'm going to be doing as first lady for let girls learn. and i had the pleasure of spending hours talking to some of the most amazing young women you will ever meet -- young girls here in the u.s. and all around the world. and
